  Are you or someone you know concerned about breast reconstruction and its impact on cancer recurrence? You’re not alone—this is a common question among patients considering breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery. As experienced breast cancer and oncoplasty specialists, we often address these concerns. Does Breast Cancer Come Back After Reconstruction? Many patients wonder if breast reconstruction increases the risk of cancer recurrence. The clear answer is no—there is no evidence that breast reconstruction raises the likelihood of breast cancer returning. Whether it's a partial or full reconstruction, the risk of recurrence remains the same. It's important to note that breast reconstruction is a separate procedure from breast cancer treatment itself. What Does This Question Actually Mean? After a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery, many patients choose breast reconstruction, either partial or complete. A common misconception is that breast...

  Hearing the term “ brain tumor ” often instills a sense of fear in people. Once considered a harbinger of death, the treatment of brain tumors has now become highly effective, safe, and largely painless due to advanced technologies such as  radiosurgery ,  chemotherapy ,  radiation therapy , and computer-guided  stereotactic brain surgery , as well as  robotic surgery . The earlier the diagnosis of a brain tumor, the easier the treatment becomes. Brain Tumors Can Be Dangerous Generally, any abnormal growth within the brain is considered dangerous, and the same applies to brain tumors. There are several types of brain tumors, but they are mainly classified into two categories based on their cancerous nature: malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) tumors. People between the ages of 20 and 40 are more likely to have benign tumors, whereas those over 50 are more prone to malignant ones. Benign tumors grow more slowly compared to  cancerous tumo...

What is Motiyabind (Cataracts) in the Eyes? Motiyabind , known as cataracts in English , is the clouding of the clear lens in the eye, leading to blurry vision. This white motia in eyes makes it difficult to see things clearly, similar to looking through a foggy window. People with black motiyabind may experience problems with everyday tasks like reading, driving (especially at night), and recognizing faces. Cataracts usually develop gradually as we age and don't affect vision immediately. However, over time, cataracts can significantly impair vision. In the early stages, stronger lighting or glasses may help, but once cataracts interfere with daily activities, surgery becomes necessary. Fortunately, cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure for restoring clear vision. How are Cataracts (Motiyabind) Formed? The eye’s lens is located behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) and focuses light onto the retina, which sends images to the brain via the optic nerve. When...
